They'd rather sell you the expensive cover than paint it for you cheaper. |

Why not paint it yourself? It will be far cheaper than buying one and with some patience and a little reading up on painting plastic it will come out looking just as nice as a professionally painted cover.

Paint will stick when properly prepped. I have over 12,000 miles on my cover since painting it and have no problems.
Here is a link to my cover project and a photo of the finished cover. http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...25#post1794825
